when all i wanted
was a smile from you
just a chance to hear you
call out my name
you got a way
to turn any male your way
married or with money
their hands reach for more
than what's hidden in their pockets
now i can't fully explain
what you do to me
i can try to explain
how i feel
but i don't think
i could tell you
the truth i feel inside
but now i know i'm losing you
nice to be wanted
in these dreams where lovers are too tired to be touched
of love too high to reach
of inescapable desires
tonight i'll chase you around
in my fantasies
i'll meet you on a busy street
of intersections of lies & compromise
where no one knows you or me
will run forever
where reality never finds the dream
